Idiom Book Sellers is a bookshop on Bastion Street in Fort Kochi, beside the Head Post Office. It opens 9:30am to 8pm Monday to Saturday, and 10am to 6pm on Sundays.

Most of the stock is new. A smaller shelf holds used books, with cooking, travel, short stories, graphic comics and yoga. Visitors say the second-hand copies are very affordable and in excellent condition. Postcards and magnets sit near the counter. Photography is not allowed inside, so keep the camera in your bag.
